19 Rohingya abscond from detention centre

By The Nation

 

 

Police were notified at 8 am on Wednesday (January 8 ) that a group of 19 male Rohingya had escaped from Songkhla Immigration detention centre, said Police Colonel Phongphan Saengsanga, director of Sadao Police Station.

 

 

The escapees were said to have used a cloth rope to desend from the third floor of the building after dismantling an iron-grilled window at around 4 am. 

 

 

Police, military and administration officials were mobilised and have since recaptured one of escapees with a broken leg, while others were likely to have fled across the Thai-Malaysian border.

 

Police sniffer dogs have been deployed in the border area within a 5km radius from the detention centre.

 

 

The Rohingya are victims of trafficking and were to be returned to their country of origin.

 

A similar incident happened two years ago.

Great job by the authorities. Now we can feel safe over that all the criminals is also very safely locked away.

If past history is any indication, it's also possible they're buried in mass graves somewhere near the Thai-Malaysian border.

I don’t think they are criminals, just running away from persecution.

Oh, you got me all wrong there. I did not maen the rohingya that run away was criminals.

I was just making a parallell to that if they can´t hold people in a detention centre, then they can probably not do their jobs to make the prisons secure either.

I will refer to post #10

 

Never posted that they were criminals. I posted "all the criminals is also". That´s different if you understand what you read.

Ok, explain what you meant with your comment then. Why would you compare it with full of hate, if it wasn´t something that triggered that?

What have visas to do with this, and who said anything about problem with them?
